• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Depends on terrain/rider preference. One of the first things taught to me riding tech singletrack was to stand all the time. If you get used to it, you will see their point.

Just my opinion, it helps for the terrain around here. I feel its a great technique to adopt.

A comfy seat doesn't hurt anything though. :)

I have arthritis in my feet, knees, etc. I can't take too much standing anymore, or I would.
 
Fair enough, my post was more so aimed at people who may not give stand-up a chance past the initial discomfort. That's all.

Happy trails

You'll notice that the 300 has the old style red vinyl trim. That seat got done in 2009 or so, for my 07 TE450 (now sharing it on the 300), but the 125 got the latest update in material that Guts is using these days.

Weird. I just ordered my seat 1 month ago and got the old smooth vinyl material... Hohum

I am right there with you. Most older really fast enduro riders around these parts sit as much as possible and only stand when it's required. Helps preserve the knees for the golden years too. Standing for me at 6'4" isn't very productive since the ergos are so whacked but I do it as well as I can. I ride mostly tight woods around here and I get close lined by tree branches when I stand as a bonus.:p
